Using leftovers

I had a piece of "fishnet" type material leftover from another project and decided to use it somehow in a necklace. I stretched it out into a thin rope and started beading the material with clear acrylic beads, black pony beads and painted wood beads.  I made a loop with the top long stand and crisscrossed the strands. I made a double knot and continued beading to the ends. I gathered the two ends and tied a double knot, enclosed the knot in a big hole wood bead, and pulled the remaining fabric out through the bottom.  Trimmed up the ends with scissors. Nothing fancy, but a great way to use up leftover bits of this and that.
